Cork City supporters are still none the wiser as to whether manager Damien Richardson will remain at the club for next season.
Reports suggest that a new two-year-contract is still on the table for the Cork boss, while former Leeds United goalkeeper John Lukic could be in line to take over as possible Director of Football.
The new Director of Football role in believed to be the stumbling block, with Richardson uncertain as to what his role would be within the new set-up.
A statement released by the club's new owners, the venture capital firm Arkaga read: 'In ongoing discussions with Damien Richardson we have indicated that Cork City Football Club intents to appoint a Director of Football and that that person will determine the club's future footballing needs.
'Damien has however indicated in meetings with us that he has received offers from other clubs.
'Obviously it is up to Damien to decide whether or not to accept those offers or to look to renew his contract with Cork City and we will continue to discuss this with him,' the statement claimed.
